Distance-to-bed-boundary inversion solution pixelation

A pixelation-based approach to summarize downhole inversion results acquires inversion solutions and generates an initial model. Each layered solution is pixelated into pixels where each pixel contains the resistivity value of the initial model. A weighted function that weighs pixels according to their proximity to the logging tool may be used to generate the pixelated model to thereby improve accuracy. A statistical summary study is performed to identify the best pixelated model, which is then used to determine one or more formation characteristics.
